FAQB TWO
SUPT. BUILOGK
REPLIES TO MR. WATTS
Air. O. M. Watts has often written
letters concerning Doe Pond School
District No. 65 lor publication. Several
months ago I thoroughly explained
the Doc Pond situation in til Horry
Herald but still Mr. Wa.is con
tinues his article:, his late.:; be'ng on
November twenty-seventh. Doe Pond
district lias not bomi i 1 ex'stonce for
over two years and JicrcTo c it is m .
possible to app >int trustors since it s
now a part of Johnson ccho d Di tiict,
No. 58. It is not possible to divide
Johnson District for ev il with
the addition of Doc Pond. John: on
now contains only 4 3 . qnaro miles.
There are no records in the 'Court
House shewing how Doe Pond was
created as a district nor is there any
record giving the boundaries e f the
same. Jn 1915-1G Doe Pond District
had no school, that year a cash balance
of $67.42 was brought over from
the preceding year, the school was
credited with $27.GO from the threemill
tax, the poll tax amounted to
$7.00 and the dog tax to $3.00, a teta1
~ r rr* i rvr /\o i ? i ? i_
ui .7>xuo.v/w, nis was cai i n u over into
the year 1916-17. In 1916-17 they
again had no school and the only
source of income that year was $7.00
credited to the district from the pod
tax. Since they had no school the two
previous years they could get n ?
three-mill tax noney and not a do ?
was returned in the district. There
were only 16 people in the district
that returned taxes. Al! this happen
cd before 1 came into office. The auditor's
books for 1916-17 show that
the district contained one square mile
and 14 acres. The constitution of the
state requires at least 9 square miles
in every district. Many of the districts
in the county are less than the
minimum required by the constitution
but as long as the people in these
small districts are satisfied and are
doing their best to have a school instead
of allowing it to be discontinun
ed for two years, I am the last man to
bieak up those small schools unless
it is agreeable with the people of
these small districts. Of course I favor
consolidations wherever they are
practiacble. The only district touching
the old Doc Pond District that
contains more than 9 square miles is
Bayboro and in 191(i-17 five-sixths of
the district svas returned by cn .? corporation.
At that time Johnso \ contained
3 square miles, Joiner contained
5.0 square miles, and Si lcy 7
square miles. Each of these districts
now contains about one square mile
more than it did then. Very soon
after I became County Superintendent
I asked an old frion ! cf mi~e who
had moved from my community into
the neighborhood of Doc Pond Schoo*
v.hat kind of school they had. He
answered ''Mighty nigh none." My
investigation proved t : dl ho Wcl s
right, i de not consider that ! broke
up the rd ool, it had been dead two
years an I I simply took part itl the
funeral. The district was ( i -cntinued
fcr the follow'ng ivaso:vu
first, n ? school 'or two years; Second,
only one square mile in the district;
third, the only income for the second
of the two years was $7.00 pol; tax.
No complaint came to me for more
than two years except from Mr.
Watts, and ha has no children of
school age. I thought surely if this
arrangement had not been satisfactory
some of the parents of the children
would have consulted me about
a school, especially as so many cf
them went to school witn me when
we were boys. However, during this
past fall, Mr. W. L. A) ford and some

Ui UU %'
of the folks living in Mr. Watts' com
jmunity told mo that the situation was
really had, for some of the children
! had become of school ago and < t' crs
had moved in and that it wr s really |
too far for some of them to go to
Johnson School. I immediately took
this matter up with the trustees of ;
Johnson School and got them to ,
agree for these folks to have a school
in their part of the district. 1 then ,
notified these folks of this action and
also spoke to Mr. N. M. Todd about
teaching for them. But no house ,
could be secured for the school and
;>o they have had none. It seems that i
Doe Pond has never owned a building ]
and the school was always taught in
a tenant house owned by Mr. O. M. t
Watts, and that the furniture, * such -j
as it was. was also owned by Mr. ,
Watts. The folks in the community j
did recently petition the County <
Board to appoint trustees because
Mr. Watts would not lot them have ,
his building unless Doe Pond was j
made a district and trustees appointed
for the same. I explained to those
who came to me that under the law
it was impossible for the County i
Board to appoint trustees but that
whatever they did about securing a
teacher and getting a house would be
agreed to by the trustees of the dis- c
' o?x/l f f rnefnAO n rnvn nn. r
ILl ell III lliat ^ Iitn 11 U.^ VVV, o n VIV/ Mp I
poincd one would be appointed from
Doe Pond School. !
The present situation is this; it is )
impossible for the County Board to (
appoint trustees; Mr. Watts will not !
allow the school to be taught in his
house unless tinstees are appointed;
and it seems that the people cannot
secure any other house. The County
than glad to establish a new district
and appoint trustees for it if 9 c
square miles can be secured for it J
fold not reduce any district from
which this territory is cut below the
'constitutional limit. The C unty ,
j Beard is not an enemy to the small .
! schools and \vc can give instances
I where we have helped build u - seve;a!
of them, (among the aumbe.' are
'Valley Fo'gc, Mill Swamp, Enter- t
p". ise, and a. second school in Red
Bluff District). The County Board c,"
Education still has 112 02 which w
found here to the credit of D e Pond
' School two years ago which is t 11
j at the* disposal of Doe Pond School,
j Under our plan the Doe Pond Scheoi
I e 'uld run at least five months this
i year and not reduce Johnson School
a single day. I will leave it to the
public to judge who is keeping the
s.howl away from the children of Doe
Pond School.
Mr. Alford write:? in last week's
par, that he finis 36 children of
1
.compulsory age in this community
but ! am sure that many of these belong
to Joiner District and that many
others live close'enough to Johnson
School to attend it. I have asked him
to furnish me with a list of these
children, giving the distance from
their homos to the nearest school
house. If I find Mr. A1 ford's inforI
mation different from wjiat I have
said, it is very likely that I shall
have something more to say about
' this matter.
All of the facts and figures contained
in this article are taken fron
official records found in the Couri
House. If my statements are not
correct it is because the records in
the Court House are not correct. 1
hardly think anyone will question the
correctness of the County Records.
It is very seldom that newspaper con
tioversies help to settle any diffi
culty. I try to do my vyork outside
